Loosing Signal I have bought a second hand system from ebay. At first the phone worked brilliantly but without the answerphone switched on. When I activated the answer phone I found the signal would be lost and the phone would spend days searching. I have switched off the answer phone service which corrected the problem for a while however, it has returned. The phone will charge fully. When the phone searches for a signal it will also charge all handsets at the same time. Is it simply new batteries for all handsets? Or something blocking the signal? It is not the telephone line as I kept a phone plugged into a point and this works while the BT phone doesn't. Please advise.

How many extensions do you have ? and do you have broadband (adsl) ? sometime's this could be just down to the phone line - if you have broadband (adsl) there has to be a filter pluged in on all other extensions, do know i'm guessing let me know this could be your problem as the filter is blocking the signal or interfering.

Your phone is gsm and there is no gsm/cdma option that you will need to switch. Losing signal has to do with tower issue or an internal antenna issue. That phone is built with aluminum and it does have issue with signal.

Regarding the Philips SE445 cordless phone/answerphone. I posted my problem where it rings 4 times then continues to ring without cutting into the answerphone. My phone is now fixed and working as it should which is great. I was unable to make calls because I had no dial tone and although Virgin checked my line and said it was fine, it obviously wasn't. The problem was with the line in the Exchange Box - the big green boxes that are located on the roadside - the line was broken there. Once fixed, I had my dial tone and the SE445 is working perfectly. To nomad1066, I would insist that BT check their Exchange Boxes as this is probably where the problem lies. Check whether you have a dial tone. Hope this helps.

Hi - took me ages to work out without the manual, but when you're in the answerphone menu (described above), press 9 (record OGM) then either 1 or 2 (1 for OGM 1 and 2 for OGM2), speak your message, then press 5 (stop), the message will automatically replay, then you're sorted
